Why Rattlesnakes RATTLE!

You can hear him rattling inside the trash can as a warning — not out of aggression, but pure instinct. ????
Rattlesnakes rattle as a defensive mechanism, letting potential threats know they’re there so a confrontation can be avoided altogether.

What’s wild is the moment I put my hands near the can… the rattling stops. He recognizes me.

This is what happens when you work with an animal long enough to understand its behavior. Rattlesnakes don’t want to bite — biting is their last resort. The rattle is their way of saying “I’m here, back off.”

Education and respect are everything when it comes to venomous snakes. Understanding why they do what they do helps keep both people and animals safe.
